Happy, sad, and devastated

What a loaded day.  My beloved Carter turns 10 today.  We struggled to have him. We lost babies (in utero) both before and after him.  But he is here, with us, smiling and hugging and we will celebrate our precious gift today as a family.

A family in Boston is not hugging their precious 8 year old son this morning, and for them I am devastated.  My prayers are with his family and everyone else affected.

We also mourn with the Virginia Tech community and remember the victims of the horrific massacre there six years ago.
